The Table is Set
I
did not watch the Democratic Debates.
I
rarely do.
I
am more interested in the spin that follows, because that more than what is
said on stage, determines public perception of the performance of the
individuals.
Right
now perception is everything.
Joe
Biden looked shaky. I’m sure he is still plenty sharp but he clearly teeters
when he is on the brink of a clutch moment. If you can get him going then he
can flow a little bit, but before that he is slow, almost doddering. I wish he
would sit down.
I
wish old Bernie Sanders would sit down too, we don’t need either one of those
dudes mucking it up in the oval office.
I
have a growing respect for Elizabeth Warren, but on the whole I find her
preparedness bothersome. She has a plan for everything but someone needs to
quote Mike Tyson to her.
Everyone
has a plan, until they get punched in the face.
I
don’t want anyone to punch Elizabeth in the face, but she is going to take a
lot of metaphorical blows during the race, and I doubt whether or not she will
be able to respond.
Planning
isn’t everything.
I
like Kamala Harris, I like the sound of her voice. I like the look in her eye.
Kamala
can speak with conviction directly from her experience, no-one needs to inform
her of what it is like to a woman, or a brown skinned person.
She
knows.
I
want that experience back in the white house. I think she would be a good
president.
The
race for the Democratic nomination is in motion, the table is set.
I
hope the best one wins.
